42 THE CULINARY GARDEN. [FEB. 



by degrees, and as they are wanted for use ; but if it 

 be wished to have them grow to full size, they should 

 finally be thinned out to nine or ten inches apart. 



Of sowing Radish. 



Radish may now be sown in an open situation, 

 either singly, or among other crops, as hinted at last 

 month, which see. For a constant supply of young 

 radishes, sow every ten or twelve days. Observe to 

 sow the turnip-rooted kinds thinner than the short 

 top or salmon 5 but none should be sown very thick, 

 as they are in that case apt to run too much to tops, 

 and get sticky at root. 



Of sowing small Sallading\ 



Small sallading, that is, chervil, cresses, and mus- 

 tard, may now be sown on an early border, either in 

 beds or in rows ; but by being sown in rows, they 

 are more easily gathered. Drill half an inch deep, 

 and six or eight inches asunder ; and sow thickly. 

 Sow every eight, ten, or twelve days, according to 

 the state of the weather, and the demand for these 

 sallads. A small bit of each at a time will be suffi- 

 cient to answer an ordinary demand. A drill of 

 each kind, ten yards in length, will give a large sup- 

 ply, the sowings being repeated once a-week.
